Again, a girl can dream We'll probably find out tomorrow who the next member is.
Tomorrow? Is that when the next announcement is? Sooner than expected.

Well, I'm going by the past trends of one reveal every week, and since Cannonball's reveal was on the 3rd, we're due on the 10th, which is tomorrow.

Here's hoping.

Same. I love me some reveals. =P~

So, since it seems the pirates side of the exclusives seem to roll with Squadron X members... what figures could potentially make those characters? Obviously, if Macabre is to come, Generations Black Shadow comes to mind. But what of the others?

I can see Earthquake being a bulldozer of sorts (basing the prediction on the ever-famous IDW panel), but that's about all I could make out.

Also a reminder: as JelZe pointed out a while ago, based on previous track records, the next figure might be announced tomorrow!

And whoever it is, here's hoping it'll be more well received here than Ferak and Tornado were, which it might be if this Tweet is to be believed:

For everyone who wants that character EVERYONE knows of and really needs an update, don't worry, he is on his way...

I have a feeling we're going to get a green one today, to coincide with St. Patrick's Day. Fang or Triton maybe? Per chance Crosscut's successor who shares G1 Bombshell's head cannon?

If it's someone everybody knows, I'm thinking it'll be one of the knights since only a niche part of the fandom knows about Squadron X's ranks.

Exactly. We know that the pirates are uber-obscure dudes plus Cannonball, so that leaves the blank-slated knights to have some more well known characters.

Though, thinking more about this Tweet, it might not be referring to today's reveal since it technically doesn't say that it was referring to the "next" one, just that this guy is "coming".

I predict that registration this year will be a clusterfuk.

Also, I predict that with the very low volume of chatter I'm hearing about this convention, the exclusives are going to be cheap, cheap, cheap on the secondary market.

Based on the news post regarding Tornado's two log entries, I guess we can forget about all of the pirates sans Cannonball being nothing but Squadron X members since it seems like only Tornado and Ferak got invited to join Cannonball's crew.

Thus, aside from the ones we've already seen, the pirates now seem to be as much an open book as the knights are.

Tornado has updated his Facebook with a third log entry:

Judging from the log, it seems that Cannonball's boatswain (pronounced "boats-in", ya land lubbers) might be one of the next reveals to come. Speaking of which, what happened to the reveal that was supposed to go down yesterday? :???:

It appears as though these pirates come with a detachment of Marines, as he refers to one of his crew as a Gunnery Sergeant (or "Gunny"), a rank used in the Marine Corps and Army. Since the Marines work very closely with the Navy, it's a safe bet that these guys aren't your average joes.

It also suggests that the troop-builders are these so-called "pirate Marines".

Unless it's one of those organic aliens who are also a part of his crew. His navigator, at least, is some kind of lizard creature. And there's a goblin/elf creature in his crew too.

I would guess that they might not have wanted to interfere with Hasbro's announcement of the new cartoon yesterday.

Right, I forgot about them.

Pfft, to be honest, I'm more excited for another BotCon reveal than what was revealed about the new cartoon thus far. >:oP

Back to square one I'm guessing. The good thing is that I did call the use of a 2-in-1 figure (Universe Cyclonus with Nightstick) so we effectively have 3 out of the 5 Star Seekers: Cannonball, Ferak and Tornado.

Dammit, they're late with the next reveal! I'm dying of suspense here! :BOOM:

Like before, I guess they didn't wanna interfere with the new cartoon's announcement.

Though, now we got Tornado's Facebook to build more hype towards BotCon for us, with his personal logs and Facebook posts giving us more and more info about the Star Seekers.

Ok, Devcon has been revealed almost a week ago, and now we're almost due again. I just don't know who or what to expect anymore. :-?

Anybody have any idea?

Only thing that I can think of for one more pirate would be my RtRcRfRIII idea, if the Club is willing to go with the Kicker mold, knowing its doomed fate.

I proposed my "Energon Scorponok into Olin/Under New Management Scorponok" in the actual BotCon thread, I'll propose it here; maybe it'll be Energon Scorponok with Olin as an actual transforming Headmaster in a deco evocative of Black Zarak's appearance in Zone (keeping in line with the pirate theme for this year's baddies)?

Just my two cents. :-?

How is that different from what I told you of the others' idea of a BlackZarak deco/tooling? :???:
